So Sad!

Have you ever had a favorite piece of clothing, that finally got so worn and ratty, that it is almost unwearable? But, you don't want to give it up?

I'm at that point, with an old 'house coat', or cover-up, that I just love....I purchased it at a yard sale about 3 years ago, and I would say that there have been few times I haven't worn it in the evening, since that time. And I reach for it first thing in the morning, almost every day. Of course, this means that it hits the laundry at least twice a week...The seams are frayed, and threadbare now....and I noticed last night that the yoke in the back is separated. But it is so soft and comfortable that I can't even think of throwing it out....just yet.

Hubby says it looks like a tent, lol, and I would bet he'd gladly put it in the stove, when my back is turned....

I had a flannel nightgown like that. I just loved it. First the elbows went so I cut it off and hemmed the sleeves at the elbows. Then the buttons came off and the buttonholes were kind of ripped out. I sewed it up and it became a "slip on"....The yoke gave way and I patched that up...and then the butt wore through...no fix there! I hope you can find one you like just as much. I have not really ever found a replacement for my favorite. Merry Monday, Jettie- Hope you have a good day! xo Diana

I have many things like that, because I am really picky and things are hard to find that fit short and wide that are comfortable! You hang onto that as long as possible, and if you can still read the label, search another one out on ebay. You might just get lucky!

Now about me..I'm a wife, mom, grandmom, and I'm a 'crafty person'. The girls used to refer to my 'crafts' as my hobby of the month. I finally found soapmaking and floral design, and those I've stuck with for more than a month, florals for about 8 yrs, soapmaking for 6 yr. I also like writing, I've self published 1 book with a co author, A Man Called Brown, abt my gggrandfather, and written several short stories for the entertainment of myelf and a few friends.
